Disallowed Claims Reimbursement (SYSCO)

A self-insuring employer may be eligible for reimbursement from the self-insured portion of the surplus fund under the Sysco case.

In certain circumstances, a self-insuring (SI) employer may be eligible for reimbursement from the self-insured portion of the surplus fund under the Sysco case. To obtain reimbursement, a participating self-insuring employer must document a final administrative or judicial determination that compensation and benefit payments should not have been made.

The self-insured department will review the request and issue a letter to the self-insuring employer approving or denying the request. You may appeal a denial to the Self-Insured Review Panel (SIRP). Refer to SI employer disputes for more information about the appeal process.

BWC's self-insured department processes these requests. Do not refer these requests to the Ohio Industrial Commission (IC) as the IC only handles claim disputes, and this is considered a risk matter.
